In match 4 of ICC t20 World Cup 2024, Sri Lanka skipper Wanindu Hasaranga won the toss and decided to bat first against South Africa at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York on Monday, June 3. 

While Hasaranga went in with three genuine and one part-time spin bowling option, Proteas did not play Shamsi, keeping Maharaj as the lone spinner. 

This will be the first game for both teams. After 10 years since that initial success, Sri Lanka has looked a pale shadow of their 2014 T20 World Cup winning team in Dhaka. They would look to take inspiration from that campaign and start brilliantly in the US. 
 

Proteas on the other hand would look to finally shed the tag of chokers in yet another ICC tournament. They have the men to do it and the will to feel it, the question remains, can they hold their nerves? Their journey to that moment would start from this game.
